Slavic Experience

06/04/2026

What a fantastic afternoon being part of Twin Cities Live at Mystic Lake Casino! 🎉

A huge thank you to Elizabeth Ries, Ben Leber, Kelli Hanson, and Kristin Haubrich for making the experience so special and welcoming. Your energy and enthusiasm made the event unforgettable!

It was also an absolute treat to hear Kat Perkins perform her brand-new song for the very first time. What an incredible voice and a memorable moment for everyone in attendance! 🎶

Congratulations to Rachael Perron from Kowalski's Markets for taking home the win in the snack competition—well deserved! 👏

Now we need YOUR help! 🥟

As we prepare for the Best Pierogi Competition at Slavic Experience on August 1-2, we're looking for the perfect celebrity judge. Who should have the honor of deciding Minnesota's best pierogi?

Should we invite Elizabeth Ries? Ben Leber? Kat Perkins? Rachael Perron? Or someone else entirely?

Drop your suggestions in the comments and help us choose! ⬇️
